BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 646,660, dated April 3,1900.

Application filed Pehruary 3,1900. Serial No. 3,863. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD GLAEsER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny, State "ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inBottles, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadtherein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to bottles, and particularly to a structureinvolving a breakable portion which prevents the refilling of the bottlein the ordinary manner after the contents have once been pouredtherefrom.

The invention has for one object to provide the bottleneck with abreakable portion which will be fractured by the cork or stop-- per ofthe bottle and which in its unbroken form provides a device forconveniently fillin g the bottle, while when broken renders therefilling of the bottle very difiicult.

Other objects and advantages of the in vention will hereinafter appearin the following description, and the novel features thereof will beparticularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a vertical section through a bottleillustrating this invention. Fig. 2 is a detail vertical section showingthe bottle. stopper or cork in position to retain the contents withinthe bottle. Fig. 3 is a plan view, and Fig. 4 is a detail sectionshowing the position of parts when liquid is poured from the bottle.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the severalfigures of the draw- 1n gs.

The letter A indicates a bottle which may be of any suitable material,size, or configuration and which has at its upper portion a neck A,adapted to receive a cork or stopper B of any suitable character. At thelower portion of the neck A a thin breakable bottom 0 to the neck isprovided and disposed at an incline to the walls of the neck, so as todirect liquid into the bottle when it falls upon said bottom. Beneaththis bottom the body of the bottle proper is depressed, as at A to forma horizontal seat upon which the lower end of the cork or stopper B willrest when the bottle is corked. This seat B has at its portion next thefilling-aperture of the bottle a shoulder A ,which bears against oneportion of the cork and prevents the escape of liquid. The neck Adischarges into the bottle at an angle to its upper portion, as -shownat C, which prevents the ready refilling of the bottle after the bottomwall 0 of the neck has been broken.

In the operation of the invention the bottle is first filled byintroducing the liquid, as usual, through the neck, which liquid isdirected by the bottom 0 into the body of the bottle; The cork is thenforced in position by any suitable means, either by hand or by acorking-machine, which operation breaks the bottom wall 0 and alsocloses the inlet O to the bottle, thus destroying the usefulness of thebottle to any future person who may desire to reuse the same. The corkwhen in position to close the bottle is shown in Fig. 2, and when onceremoved the contents can be poured from the bottle, as shown at Fig. 4;but any attempt to refill the bottle through the neck would not besuccessfully effected, as the liquid at once flows downward over theoutside of the bottle,'and the position of the entrance to the bottle isso disposed as to renderany refilling operation particularly difficultand unprofitable.

The invention obviates the use of any movable or metallic parts whichare liable to become clogged or corroded and provides a bottle which canbe formed at a single operation and in which the act of corking thebottle renders the same practically useless for any future refillingthereof. The structure presented is also very economical of manufactureand simple and efficient in operation.

It is obvious that changes may be made in the details of configurationof the several parts or the invention applied to any character of bottleor jug without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined bythe appended claims.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to securebyLetters Patent, is-

1. A bottle comprising a neck portion having an inlet. to the bottle atan angle to the stopper-aperture and a breakable bottom to said neck;substantially as specified.

2. A bottle comprising a neck portion having an inlet to the bottle atan angle to the stopper-aperture, abreakable bottom to said neck, and aseat for a stopper provided upon support for the stopper and effect aclosure to the body of'the bottle beneath said breakable of the bottom;substantially as specified.
